Wall Street's BAD ASS!

i HAVE NO PROBLEM with him trying to get publicity. however,he cannot come across as immature and arrogant because no one will ever take him seriously and they will certainly not buy the book. people love under dog stories and if he matured and acted more humble perhaps people would really want to hear what he has to say rather than going off on childish tangents.
i get the feeling his publicist is telling him being hated is just as good as being loved when publicity is concerned. kind of like a boxer who is hated but people will pay money to see him fights with the hopes of him getting beat up. this is not boxing and i bet his publicist mentions rosie o'donnel as well. Tim is getting horrible advise and after a few years,he will look back at how he has acted and will fall into a depression. i hope not but i believe thats what will happen.

Ok, I just recently learned of this guy and have visited the web site he set up and watched a few of his idiotic appearances on various news outlets such as CNBC. This is HILARIOUS.

Tim, if you are reading this, listen up:

Much of what I'll say is redundant but you know NOTHING about what you claim to know about. You are a rank amateur who has learned enough surface information about an industry so as to come across as being knowledgeable enough about it to teach to others. The only people that take you seriously are complete newcomers to this game that know next to nothing, because to a complete amateur you sound like you know what you are talking about. You have learned enough about trading to pretend and claim to have traded and that's about it.

Trading your parents money via an online retail account is not a fund, but is laughable. Your story is just that, a story. "I turned my 12k bar mitzvah money into 2 million". It reads like bad spam I get in my inbox but the journalists eat it up like cake. Your web site is hilarious because you are an enormous idiot and I will continue to visit it for free laughs. I wonder if you know how stupid you are or if you have truly convinced yourself that you have learned something valuable enough to write about?

Cant argue with that. Sykes is the worst.

Tim Sykes comes across as not trust worthy, and his family no longer trusts him with managing their money. So, there is an important message in the fact that he failed his own family.

Glad he has promised never to come back to ET!
 
"Sure, sure focus on long-term growth, aim for 20-30% per year—that's great and proper for the vast majority of passive investors out there. Be bullish! And all that jazz. But I know many investors whose assets range from a $1,000 to $500,000 and they don't have the patience for that crap. If you have $1,000, does it really matter if you make 10%, 20% or even 50% on your money in one year? No! Screw investing—by the time you've collected all your dividends, sold your top performing stock (probably Google, up 7x in 3 years—too bad you only allocated 2% of your portfolio to it!) and you're ready to spend your wonderful $1,900 in savings (if you’re lucky after 5-7 years LOL), the dollar will be worth 1/10th of what it once was, you'll have two kids, an alcoholic wife (a result of your financial situation), a mortgage and we'll be colonizing Mars."

This is coming from a guy that blows out his account....... Man, i thought like this when i was 18 trading penny stocks thinking i was hot shit... Now im 22, and found out, that shit works until IT DOESNT, then your another wash out loser..... DISCIPLINE sykes!
 
Quote from EPrado:

Tim Sykes is just about finished.


1) Tried starting a hedge fund (retail equity trading account). Blew up because he has no clue on diversification/money management. When asked about why he failed he always replied "If it wasnt for CYGT I would have been doing great)...uh huh...and if Victor Neiderhoffer didnt sell all those SP puts before the mkt got smoked, he would be fine also.. I love these guys who say if it wasnt for that one trade..blah blah blah...


2) Boy genius Sykes writes a book which he claims will sell millions. Book comes out...fails to sell much....Sykes whines more....and after not shutting up about how this book will be the next Livermore book, leaves ET with his tail between his legs as the book flops. Apaprently he also released a dvd on ...get this...penny stock trading....rumor is that homeless people down by port authority are using these dvds as coasters for their bottles of mad dog 20/20.


3) Sykes claims he is gonna be a big tv star......promises of Oprah...a show with Cavuto on Fox Business news. Nothing transpires and Tim once again fails again at EVERYTHING he touches. His latest whine-fest on that video is great. Wah wah wah...the insudtry sucks......I think I will act drunk and curse at everybody....what an embarassment.


4) Finally....he has become such a laughingstock that he is restricted to posting on his own blog. Apparently he is "trading" 100 shares of stocks. Best part is during this crazy volatility in the stock mkt, this numbskull cant find anything to do. Whether a trader is kiing it/getting killed, there are TONS of things to do.



I guess all of us on here on ET should give thanks today....that this idiot has left here for good.



Happy Thanksgiving.

Amen. I said a similar prayer of thanks during Grace before yesterday's Turkey meal.
